If we’re being honest, we don’t want to just race – we want to do well, and keep improving year to year. The past few months we’ve been at our home base in New Mexico putting in a LOT of work to hopefully make this season our best yet. And then, right before the first real test of the season we got sick.

We debated whether or not we should make this video, but we decided maybe it would be helpful to show how we navigate the less glamourous aspects of being a pro athlete and we want to shine a little light on the reality that no one’s prep is ever perfect…but maybe you don’t need perfect to have a good race.
